Speaking at a public meeting in Vinukonda in Palnadu district while releasing aid under the 'Jagananna Chedodu' scheme, the CM said, "Andhra Pradesh has set an example in the country about the growth rate. We are ahead of all states with a growth rate of 11.43 percent. Every sector is developing simultaneously under the YSRCP government.
The CM reassured, "As promised, we will change the fate of the poor, who are the backbone of the state. Financial assistance would be provided to all without distinction.

CM Jagan said, "Many are jealous of the development in Andhra Pradesh under the YSRCP's rule and have decided to indulge in false propaganda. Today, money is being credited directly into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries. Do you recall such an exercise by the previous government? The previous regime was being run by a gang of thieves who used to gobble up money meant for the public's welfare. "Do you want such a rule?" the CM questioned.
The CM concluded that he only believes in the development of SCs, STs, BCs, and minorities and is not bothered if the opposition joins hands to defame him.
